The OLD TOMB OF WASHINGTON RENOvATED.-At
the recent assembly OF the regents OF Mt. Vernon
the Importance OF preserving from decay the old
looking the Potomac, was taken under cOnsidera-
ton. This tomb was erected by Lawrence Wash
1ngtOn, elder half-brother OF George Washington.
1t is built OF sandstone and was, at the time OF
its erection, doubtless regarded as an imposing
structure Therein were deposited the remains OF
General and Lady Washington and from 1t they
were removed TO the present new tomb which was
erected by the executors or Gen. Washington upon
the spot selected by him before his death. The
Old tomb has, however, not been allowed TO crum-
BILE to decay. The facade has been twice recon-
structed recently by the present superintendent,
Mr.. Harrison H. Dodge, whO by direction OF the
regents has had it treated with parafine by the
Caffal process, which will doubtless render fur
ther repairs unnecessary.

Fashion Notes.

A pretty costume for very tiny miss,
indeed-a little girl OF four or five years
old-is in plaid wooden material, made with
full gathered front and gathered skirt.
Around the waist was drawn a band of
velvet, bound with braid, and fastening
together at the front with an ornamental
clasp. Around the shoulders short cape
or very wide collar of the same velvet was
worn, and odd-shaped buttons on various
parts of the dress added to the general
effect.
An attractive wrapper, morning costume
or breakfast gown, is developed In light
brown cashmere. 1t is made 10 fit well TO
the figure, both in front and behind, and
the skirt portion is made very full, the
back being laid in wide folds. From the
right shoulder a jabot of lace is begun
which is continued all the way down the
front of the gown, and is fastened upon
the shoulder by knot of ribbon, in a
shade of elm. Two bands of this ribbon
are also laid from the shoulders to the
waist, where they come to point, and from
whence several long ends are allowed to
escape. Lace cuffs and collars are worn,
and wherever ribbon can be appropriately
placed in knots OF burs it may be used.
Striped silk is considerably used for MILL
merry purposes, in connection with satin rib
bons. 1t is most serviceable upon capote
shapes.
English pink" is a tint much liked now
for variety of purposes. 1t is color
which we would not term pink, but, rather,
scarlet, of very light shade. Its name is
derived from the fact that the coats of Eng
lish fox-hunters have always been of this
particular hue.
Canton scarfs are bright and dainty.
They are quite popular for number of oc-
casions, as they will drape effectively as
berthas. tchus or sashes; but perhaps the
prettiest service TO which such scarf can be
applied is to wear it in the form of an OPP
era hood, as the ends fall in very pictur-
esque fashion.
For wear in the evening, black footwear
is still well liked, although with fanciful
toilets, or dresses in odd shades of color,
stockings are worn to match the toilet.
Black stockings and slippers have, how
ever, always an advantage over those of
light color, as they make the feet appear
smaller, and the ankles more slender.
Where a toilet is worn In which two
colors are combined, the prevailing tint
should be the color of the hosiery. One
good idea is to have the stockings of one
shade represented In the dress, and the
slippers OF another.

Equal To the Emergency.

How we all have our points of view. L
was talking yesterday with marvellous
new dressmaker trm that have discovered,
q firm consisting of a man who cuts and a
wife who fits, and the conversation was
mainly upon very pretty gown that was
being displayed. 1t was really very pref
ty suit of ruby velvet trimmed with black
Jet, only not particularly LADY gown.
Then they said it was made for small
actress, and a very pretty one, who said
she did not care how much it cost so long
as it was handsome.
Il tell you," went on the assistant hus-
band, "these actresses are wonderful wom-
en-, some of them. Wonderful" Ofcourse
/ expected to hear praises of Mary Ander-
son or Fanny Davenport. Instead:
"Now there was one awfully smart actress
that used to come here. She came one
Sunday afternoon and said that she wanted
me to cut a dress for her that minute.
She sang in some concert some
where and the leading lady had been taken
sick, and she had got to take her part that
night and she must have new dress.
told her, of course. we couldn't make it in
an afternoon. oh, bother The making,
she said. you cut and tit, and I'll do all
the making that's got TO be done. If you'll
believe me, we-my wife and cut and
basted the waist, and she did the rest and
pore it. There was not single stitch of
thread in the skirts nothing but pins.
Even the breadths were pinned the whole
length of them. And we went that night to
see her and prettier dress L never saw on
any woman. tell you, there's no getting
ahead of n woman like that"
A simple story, this, but it points how we
all look at people from our own corner, and
that perhaps it is just as well for woman
to think we'll of each of the corners in
which the world may congregate. Very
possibly all the corners may not be thinking
of this individual woman, but, all the same,
it is well to give them due thought. The
world likes to see a woman look her best;
let woman look her best, then, and please
the eyes of the rigorous world.-ErchGRge

For Cleveland i'm 1883.

Ex-Governor d. II. Chamberlain, one Of
the chief mugwumps of 1884, is frank
enough to say that he will support Cleve-
land again in 18SS-or rather that he will
still be for free-trade candidate-which
was what the mugwumps left the Repub-
lican party for. In a late interview he
says:
81 have no hesitation in saying that / am
still strong Cleveland man. I'll go even
further, and say that l am stronger for
Cleveland than was when / voted for him,
and / think that that is the general feeling
among the Republicans who supported him
in 1884. If there is any discomfort think
it is chiefly among certain Bourbon Demo-
Gratis. The mugwumps seem to me to be
better satisfied with Mr.. Clevelands admin
istration than his own party"
So with all the others, they left the Re-
publican party for free trade reasons. They
will STAY out of it for the same reasons. On
this point they are more Democratic than the
average modern Democrat.-Des Moines

Mrs. Whitney.

There has probably never been woman
in Washington whose influence upon its
society has been so remarkable In many
ways as that of Mrs. Whitney, wife of the
Secretary of the Navy, says an Eastern
correspondent. Her name has become
Synonymous with all that is generous,
gentle and good. The Secretary and Mrs.
Whitney have brought the matter of enter
tainment in this very peculiar community
to point of perfection that has never be-
fore been attained. Mrs. Whitney is an
accomplished linguist, speaking most of
the tongues of Europe huently. She is
much sought by the diplomatic corps, the
distinguished members of which are al
ways to be met at her house. She is q
brilliant conversatonalist, and is thoroughly
well read in biography, history, the phi
losophies, and science. Her sweetly SYM
pathetic voice, too, makes conversation
with her a much-coveted privilege
Mrs. Whitney's mother was the only
daughter of Nathan Perry, probably the
wealthiest man In Northern Ohio. He pos
sessed great areas of real estate in Cleve-
land. SO that while she was nursed in
luxury. there was always thrown about the
daily life that feeling of taking care of the
expenditures that is now one of the lost
arts among modern men of money. The
power of possession and the desire to
transmit great fortunes to the next genera
ton are not the ruling passions with men
of the present. The precarious hold a
man has upon fortune, the possibility
that he may wake up some morning to find
il has flown from him, has superinduced
the philosophy held by many of enjoying
each day whatever of dedication can be
had out of IFS twenty-four hours.
In personal appearance Mrs. Whitney is
all that one might imagine so generous a
woman 10 be. Favored by nature with an
exquisite squire, shoulders, arms, and bust
of exquisite perfection, Mrs. Whitney is
further blessed with radiant face full Of
subtle, sympathetic power that attracts and
holds attention. The beautiful head is
poised upon perfect neck, the great eyes
are blue, the mouth sweet and sensitive,

and the lines of cheek and chin perfect
curve of beauty. The premature gray hair
is abundant, and is worn in the prevailing
high couture. Her well-rounded and lis
some figure seems made for the beautiful
fabrics she wears. Mrs. Whitney's dress IS
always artistic and becomingly suited for
the occasion. Last winter she never wore
anything of the half mourning, beauti-
full velvet bodice of lavender, with tulle
skirts, worr at the British Minister'S ball,
being the only toilet OFF of black and white
that she wore.
While standing in the receiving line with
the President, Mrs. Whitney wore an even
ing dresss of black silk and tulle that was
very becoming, and also superb robe of
white embossed velvet, garnished with os-
trich feathers. Indeed. whatever Mrs.
Whitney wears latest seems the most suit
ed to her, so true is her taste in matters OF
dress.

Effect OF the Labor Movement i'm 1855.

In the city of New York it is probable
that three -fourths of the men who voted
for Mr.. George for Mayor last fall voted
for Mr.. Cleveland for President. II half
of these votes can be drawn away by a Ia
Dor candidate for President in 1888, the
Republicans can carry ii by good plurali-
ty. 1t has been asserted that this element
which Mr.. George led in New York City
cannot be held together for a Presidential
vote in 1883, and that it will vote for the
Democratic candidate for President. 1t
may be that Mr.. Georges vote last Novem-
Der could not be polled again for him at the
present time, but the indications are rather
on the other side. The results in Cincin-
natl, and even in Chicago, where the or
ganization was in bad hands, show that the
labor organization has powerful hold as
an Independent factor in politics, and that
it draws its strength from the Democratic
party more largely than from the Repub
lican. These results show that the labor
organization as an independent political
body is extending, and that the chances are
that it will grow for some time, and will
present n ticket at the next Presidential
campaign unless the Democrats present a
candidate satisfactory to the men who voted
for Mr.. George in New York, for Stevenson
in Cincinnati, and Nelson in Chicago.
Who can that man be? Will Mr.. Cleve-
land be satisfactory to the voters who raj
lied against Mayor Hewitt?-Boston
